| NOTE: This listing includes ONLY projects that have broken ground. Projects that have been formally proposed or approved may be listed in the appended section of towers "in the pipeline." In accordance with the current strictures of skyscraper height measurement -- as outlined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat -- height rankings are based on towers' absolute pinnacle height (to the tip of the spire or antenna). |
